Tony August 29, 2016 for Model Number KSSC36QMS01 I have built in Kitchen Aid that has a water filter housing which is broken. I've had a repair person in who could not pull it out to replace it. I've seen one posting on this website that suggests accessing the housing system through the back panel. I'm wondering if there is any way that this can be done without pulling out the whole unit to do it?
1 Answer Hello Tony, While this is not a very easy job, this filter housing WP2209022 is fully accessible from the front of the unit without pulling it from the installation. Read More...
Sn May 22, 2016 for Model Number KSBP25INSS00 This isn't so much a question as a tip. I have a KitchenAid counter depth fridge that uses this water filter housing. There is a front panel bar that prevents the housing from coming through the front. Because there wasn't a lot of good info on how to do this... I tried some options that people presented on the Interwebs: 1 -- I tried removing the doors to get at the panel, but it turns out it is riveted in place. 2 -- I also tried elevating the front of the fridge to get at it from the bottom of the fridge, but no luck -- there's a steel panel on the bottom. 3 -- I also tried cutting the plate a little with a Dremel, but it's still very hard to get even a skinny arm in the front opening to disconnect the tubes. SO, it turns out that if you pull off the back panel door (DUH, do I feel stupid) and remove an electrical part by the water collection tray (there's only one, and it's screwed on), you can remove the housing that way (provided you remove the screws at the front of the fridge). I would have saved a TON of time if this info was available somewhere online, so I hope it helps someone else with a similar fridge.
Hung March 20, 2016 for Model Number GC3PHEXNQ00 Please help. Try multiple time, from front and from the back too. not able to remove the WATER FILTER HOUSE. the way it desire. please help. thks. I wish I can sent an picture
1 Answer Hello Hung. If you can not remove it from the front or back, then lean the fridge backwards and support it on wooden blocks. Then take the filter housing out of the bottom of the unit. Read More...
Buzz February 03, 2016 for Model Number GC5SHAXV502 (Whirlpool Side by Side Water Filter Housing AP4369676 Does this housing have any "O" rings internal to the prongs at the rear of the housing where the nipples from the water filter fit? Cannot tell from the photo - if so, then somehow when I removed the filter for replacement they came out with the filter and that is why the unit is leaking. If not, then the filter housing is damaged. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Buzz, The "O" rings on this design are on the filter. If there is still a leak with a good filter EDR3RXD1, the housing WPW10121140 will require replacement. Read More...
Bill January 25, 2016 for Model Number ED5PVEXVS01 I have water going to the water filter but have no water coming out, changed the filter twice and still no flow. Is the housing bad?
1 Answer Hello Bill. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the filter head is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
C November 13, 2015 for Model Number GC5THEXNB03 Putting the fridge on blocks still does not change the fact that the filter housing will not fit through the front hole that it is connected to. The video you reference does not show me anything about the problem I have. I know how to disconnect and hook it up. The problem I am having is how do I get the housing out. The housing is square but the hole is round.
1 Answer Hello C. If you can not drop the housing out from the bottom of the unit, then you will need to remove that front bar. In most cases you don't have to remove that, but some customers say they have had to. Read More...
C November 12, 2015 for Model Number GC5THEXNB03 Read all the info and watched the videos on removing the water filter assembly but for some reason on this model fridge the housing is mounted behind a round metal plate that extends the width of the fridge when you take off the kick plate. Seems like it should have been mounted in front on the plate and not behind. It seems impossible to get the housing out. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello C. It does not give ample room, but you can succeed. You will need to get assistance to help gently tilt the unit back and use a couple 4x4 blocks to rest the front roller wheels onto. This will allow better access. Watch this video. It will give you an idea of how to replace the water filter housing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvbfCpvrsY0 Read More...
Tony September 02, 2015 I am having the same problem everyone else is having. There is absolutely no way to remove this filter housing from the front of this model. It is mounted behind the lower front frame of the fridge and the opening is round but the filter housing is square at the bottom due to the mounting screw flange. Unless someone has figured out a way to get a square peg through a round hole this just does not seem possible.
1 Answer Hello Tony. Watch this video. It will give you an idea of how to replace the water filter housing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvbfCpvrsY0 Read More...
Robert June 03, 2015 for Model Number kscs25inss00 Hi, I asked a question about removing the water filter housing yesterday. I can easily remove the plastic grill at the bottom of the fridge. I can also remove the two screws at the bottom of the filter housing. The problem is that the filter housing is bigger than the hole in the metal panel along the bottom of the fridge. And the metal panel appears to be affixed by many small bolts and some big bolts that support the weight of the doors! I can't see any way to get the filter housing out of the front. What am I missing? thanks!
1 Answer Hello Robert. If you release the lines from the back of the filter housing, it will pull out the front of the unit without removing that bar. The only way it wouldn't is if that bar was bent. Then you will need to fix the bar to remove the housing. Read More...
Robert June 02, 2015 for Model Number kscs25inss00 My refrigerator sprays water when I remove the filter. I assume this is a bad filter housing? Unfortunately, I can't get the housing out of the unit. The plastic housing flange is partially behind a steel panel that runs across the bottom of the refrigerator. It's different than your videos for similar Whirlpool filters where the filter housing is on the outside of the steel planel. (I can't try the block trick. This is a counter-depth unit that has "settled" and gotten "fat" over the ~9 years we've owned it and is stuck in the cabinet! We'll have to have cabinet work done when it needs to be replaced.)
1 Answer Hello Robert, This repair can be completed from the front of the unit by removing the kick panel. You just have to reach under the unit to remove the retaining screws and pull the filter housing out to remove the water lines. Read More...
